Lemon Curd Muffins

I think this has got to be one of my most favorite bakes so far. Not only were we to make muffins with a to-die-for lemon curd filling, I also got to make my own lemon curd. And I must say, the lemon curd was just... UNBELIEVABLE!! I couldn't stop tasting it and was seriously considering making a second batch!

Set up a double boiler with a glass bowl over a pan of boiling water. Add the butter and sugar to the glass bowl. Keep stirring until the butter is melted.

Add the rind and the juice and continue stirring for a minute. Now stir in the eggs and stir constantly for 30 minutes, until a spoon drawn through the lemon curd lets you see the bottom of the glass bowl.

Pour into a sterilized jar. It will keep up to a month (sadly I don't have any left!).

Actually I came here looking for your idli milagai podi (with garlic) recipe. I did not bookmark it. Now how do I find it without Search option or Recipe Index? I was so eager to prepare it today to have it with Idlis.

Mmm.. these muffins sound so delicious! I am smacking my lips. Thanks for your lovely comments on my blog. Yeah.. my blog doesn't automatically have the RSS feature for some reason but if you click on the navigation bar at the top of the page there is a subscribe to my feed button and there you can get the RSS. Hope that helps! :)
